Traffic Violations

A routine speeding ticket may not seem serious at first, but it can be. The fine for traffic violations may be significant. Your license may be suspended, making your daily trip to work difficult. What’s more, the violation goes on your permanent record, and your auto insurance rates could soar. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, you may even be facing jail time.

Traffic Violations: What You Need to Know

When you add it all up, a moving violation can be very serious and requires an experienced traffic violations attorney to defend you. Unfortunately, a DUI is not the only traffic-related crime that can negatively impact your record – and your future. Other violations include:

Speeding, including speeding a construction zone
Running a red light or stop sign
Failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident
Leaving the scene of an accident with property damage
Improper lane usage
Camera-generated tickets
Reckless driving
Driving with expired license plates or registration
Driving with a suspended license
Driving with a revoked license
Driving without insurance (or proof of insurance)
Seatbelt violations
Drunk/impaired driving
Cell phone usage violations

Traffic violations – from DUI to seatbelt violations – can threaten your license, result in heavy fines, raise your insurance rates, send you to traffic school or community service, and impact your freedom, ability to drive and earn a living.
